Hello,

Tks for the comment. The active steering warning light is gone after i drove the car for few miles. The only issue i have now is the service schedule (Keep showing the car need to be service ), i will take it to dealer and have them reset the warning.

The time setting is correct but the Date doesn't seen to be stored on the memory.

I was able to enter the Date now, and all the scheduled maintaince warning are gone. Looks like it calculated based on the actual date. The Active Steering Warning was gone in the morning, so i don't have any problem with it now. But anyway will have to visit my dealer next week since my door seals are making noises.

Tks Mr. Cheng and Hobi.

I am glad to hear that your issues are gone. Why you want the black trim back ??
Hobi is our best resource in the technical and modification issues

Hope you will get the door seals fixed.
